Question: Our broker files all our entries in ACE. He indicated recently for filing Post Summary Corrections for unexpected shortages and overages that he will need a revised or corrected invoice from the manufacturer listing what we actually received. For those who file in ACE, is this standard? For previous post entry corrections, our broker […]
Question: I’d appreciate the membership’s comments on the quarterly post entry adjustment reports and the age of files included, or any experience with CBP communication regarding older files included on the Quarterly PEA. If non-revenue or < $20 errors are found on entries from a couple of years ago due to personnel turnover, process reviews, […]
Question: Does anyone have a post entry checklist they can share? ============= Answers: See attached Copy of Entry Checklist (Generic) ============== HTS Value COO SPI Quantity
Question: CBP issued guidance on August 11 that prohibits the use of a protest to recover duties based on a duty preference program, like GSP or an FTA, but the text of 19 USC 1514 doesn’t necessarily seem to support CBP’s authority to do this. Is CBP’s position legal, regardless of the two NAFTA-specific court […]
Question: I wanted to gauge some of the practices used by the association in regards to filing a PEA with customs. Do most companies outline a specific dollar value required to file a PEA? How do you determine the threshold? Secondly, when do companies file PEA’s not related […]
Question: Can anyone share their experience on how CBP handles post-summary corrections in ACE for those items which would have been reported on a quarterly PEA for a non-ACE entry? It appears that PSC’s should be filed as issues are found, but if there is a change in duty under $20, does CBP […]
Question: From what I understand – entries filed via ACE can no longer be addressed via a QPEA. All post entry adjustments must be made in ACE and they have to be done by the filer (aka broker). Am I correct? In the past I have filed a QPEA each quarter reporting […]
Question: I was told that due to ACE filing of entries, shipments off by $20.00 or less in duty will not be able to be submitted using a quarterly PEA. I want to be able to report onesie, twosie over and shorts in this manner if still available. Anyone know for sure? I […]
Question: We are trying to determine when we have reached the point of too many PEA’s. We are an importer doing about 2,500 entries annually. We have grown at a very rapid pace and our auditing is playing catch up. Because of that, we are finding a number of errors. We are working toward […]

Question: Looking for guidance on how to address the reversal of information on a PEA that was submitted and accepted by CBP. It turns out the original entry information was correct and the information provided on the PEA is not correct. Do we need to go back and change the PEAs that were submitted in […]
Question:At the Trade Symposium, I became excited by the fact that in the nearfuture, post entry corrections could be sent through ACE and moreimportantly, post entry details could be obtained through ACE reporting. But I find that our large broker does not currently file entries throughACE. Is this common among the brokerage industry-especially the largerfirms? […]
